Proverbs 21:19 in Context — Proverbs 21
17 Hombre necesitado será el que ama el deleite: y el que ama el vino y ungüentos no enriquecerá.
18 El rescate del justo es el impío, y por los rectos el prevaricador.
19 Mejor es morar en tierra del desierto, que con la mujer rencillosa é iracunda.
20 Tesoro codiciable y pingüe hay en la casa del sabio; mas el hombre insensato lo disipará.
21 El que sigue la justicia y la misericordia, hallará la vida, la justicia, y la honra.
